It's the one from RightDrive. Lots of issues with it (repainted, body damage, horrific suspension, no wipers, fail headlights) but that's another rant entirely.

Bwek, I'm gonna keep the current bumper. I've gotten used to seeing it now, haha. Might change my mind someday, but for now it's okay the way it is. No specs yet, it's pretty much stock aside from the front bumper, exhaust (needs replaced), front strut bar and the turbo timer. I just got it, so I'm still finding problems and fixing whatever is broken.

You are a nighthawk I know that much, driving around 7 at 4am.

You need coilovers? I'm letting go of mine.

If it was at 4 a.m. I was probably on my way to work. I had horrible early hours at that job. Normally 4 a.m. is when people should be going to bed, not waking up, right?

I had to replace all the suspension already, but thanks for the offer of the coilovers (wish I'd had that a few weeks ago). Got racing beat springs & tokico shocks, stock mounts. The car had some really busted coilovers when I got it in February, but I didn't have enough posts here to use the classifieds section at the time.

Old coilovers were catastrophic. Trying to go anywhere was like driving over a minefield.



New suspension is much better - still need an alignment though (any suggestions on where to take it?)

Go see sasha at sequence garage. sg-motorsport.com.

I used to run tokico shocks/eibach springs with camber plates up front. It was a great way to learn to drive the car, but I needed wider tires up front so the coilovers had to come on, and now I'm looking to upgrade yet again.

Random question: what made you buy a rhd fc or an fc in general, these cars suck (unless you enjoy driving, otherwise the electronics are hell, no cupholders, and gas mileage/reliability is terrible, PLUS stock they dont look amazing)

Also, what was your experience with rightdrive? Ive heard mixed things.

2Fierce you're scaring the women off again... Just because rx7s ruined your life doesn't mean they will ruin everyone elses. Can you get your car running please?

And +1 on Sasha @ SG, he's a really nice guy and the alignment will be done properly.

Sorry, this is the first thing that came to mind but a kid like my 20 year old sister would have a heart attack if she saw that one with a Red Suns sticker lol. At least younger people are still interested in FC 7s thanks to Initial D . That car is going to get you a lot of attention and it looks good.

Questions are fine. I guess it didn't matter if it was LHD or RHD. I was looking at a few LHD FCs and two RHD FCs. This one seemed in the best shape, and the engine ran well with no warning signs. I've loved RX-7s (S5 FCs specifically) since I was like....14 or something stupid, and always wanted to drive one. There's something about the rotary engine, and the style of the car. I love driving and want to get into racing (probably autocross next year).

I've owned 3 FCs before this. They never ran, and I never got to drive them (tried to merge them into one running FC, but the engine was gone so I had to give up). I've been chasing after these cars for years, and finally got this one.

My first car didn't have cupholders either, I guess it's not really something I think about when buying a car. The only downside of RHD is drive-through windows. Makes things pretty awkward.

The FC is kind of my affordable dream car, I really love it. Even if it does ruin my life, haha. I don't mind.

As for RightDrive, I think my main complaint is that they really don't know anything about the car. They're not trying to rip anyone off intentionally, but they also don't really try to give you all the information available. Several times I got different stories on insignificant things, like they didn't have their story straight on anything. I really feel like it was a bad experience overall. Not horrific, just bad, maybe mediocre. Maybe my standards were just too high.

SonicFD - Haha, I like Initial D as well. I blame it for all my money going into RX-7s when I was in highschool.

Bwek - I left the old coilovers at the shop. I'll see if they're still there next time I go back, but I think everything on them is pretty useless.

Come to think of it, I have seen this fc around Woodbridge. I'm in Woodbridge also lol. What side of Woodbridge?

Alignment : Woodbridge Alignment? Thats where my pops sends all his cars. Besides, its right behind my high school (Im 17, I didn't fail highschool :P) and will give me a chance to look at it.
